Speedy: From weather expert Jim Lushine:

The first named tropical storm in the western hemisphere in 2014 formed in the East Pacific Ocean on Friday and beefed up remarkably fast into a major hurricane within 48 hours.

This makes it the strongest East Pacific hurricane ever to form in the month of May since weather satellites have been around.

The East Pacific Hurricane season officially begins on May 15, but the first tropical storm normally doesn't show up until June 10; the first hurricane doesn't appear until June 26, and the first major hurricane doesn't usually come into being until July 19.

Why such a quick start up to the East Pacific season? It might be the result of warmer ocean temperatures linked to the emerging El Nino.

This is a good sign for the Atlantic in terms of having fewer than normal number of storms because of increased wind shear that will prevent seedlings from becoming tropical cyclones.
